Is it Time for a Special Counsel on the Hunter Biden Scandal? JONATHAN TURLEY
Come on H this is linked to Celtic s account. Those nine words from a retired Secret Service agent to Hunter Biden in recently released emails may prove a nasty complication for some in Washington who have struggled to contain the blowback from the still-unfolding scandal linked to Hunter Biden s infamous laptop.
Celtic was the Secret Service code name for Joe Biden, and recent disclosures may puncture the media s cone-of-silence around the scandal. The emails link President Biden to his son s accounts and indicate a commingling of funds with money coming from controversial foreign sources. Even more embarrassing, the shared account may have been used to pay a Russian prostitute named Yanna.
The commingling of funds is the latest contraction of President Biden s repeated claims that he was unaware and uninvolved in past dealings by his son. Given these links, there are legitimate questions of why the Justice Department has not sought a special counsel in the ongoing investigation of alleged money-laundering and tax violations linked to the president s son. More importantly, even if there are no criminal charges, there is now a compelling need for an independent report on the alleged influence peddling operation by Hunter, his uncle James Biden, and potentially his father, President Biden.
